The Fountain Inn

This canal-side one bar pub is obviously a true gem in the local community, judging by the mix of customers that were there when we arrived. My pal and I came for the beer and the very nice barmaid convinced us to stay for lunch. We both chose the Roast Lamb Dinner. Although the Lamb was Steam-Roasted, it was delicious, and very tender; plus there was plenty of it; along with generous portions of Cabbage, Carrots, Peas, Roast Potatoes and Buttery Mashed Potatoes, a Yorkshire Pudding, a separate boat of Gravy plus Mint Sauce as well, it was all very fresh and well cooked and excellent value at £4.99. There is a good range of real ales that we regretted not staying longer to try more of.

One of the friendliest pubs I’ve even been in. Genuine welcome from owners and all their staff. Not the smartest in terms of decor ‘traditional’ better description) but excellent selection of real ales, beautifully kept, and wonderful atmosphere. Just a shame they no longer do cooked meals in evening still remember an excellent sausage and mash from 7 years ago.

Unpleasant woman at bar refused to serve us because it was 10 45 and we were supposed to be there before 10.45 for a last orders drink! We were told. We're made to feel very unwelcome when we had travelled there to show our Irish friend a bit of history and Black Country hospitality. Unpleasant unwelcoming.

The rudest old bar maid in the Black Country walked in with a small dog (and we understand some pubs don’t allow dogs) but to be pointed at and shouted OUT is appalling. Other lady behind the bar was lovely but the gangly one needs to go on a customer service course or retire for everyone’s happiness

What a disappointment we have used the Fountain for years and generally been very satisfied. Today three different ales tried and all frankly undrinkable. The food is OK and very reasonably priced and the staff are excellent but the beer! Suffice it to say we will not be returning any time soon.
